Hello, I am Johnathan. I am a freelance teacher and tutor from Henrico, Virginia. I am the owner and operator of Intellect Masters LLC., through which this tutoring work will be completed. I am proficient in many academic subjects, such as science, math, and English. I have a master's degree in Geochemistry, a bachelor’s in Earth Science (with a double minor in Chemistry and Political Science), and a 120-hour TEFL certificate. I placed at the top of my class in college and high school. I earned a 3.95/4.00 GPA in my master’s degree studies. As an undergraduate, I completed the Central Connecticut State University Honor Program and graduated Cum Laude. I have eight years of experience teaching and tutoring a variety of age groups and grade levels from elementary school to college. I've tutored students who have learning differences like ADHD.

My desire to help students succeed draws me to tutoring. I was the founder and president of Theta Zeta, Central Connecticut State University’s chapter of the Earth Science Honors Society known as Sigma Gamma Epsilon. As president of Theta Zeta, I organized geology tutoring sessions and led an effort to create rock study kits for undergraduate geology students studying for rock identification exams.

My educational philosophy is simple: Lessons should be engaging, encouraging, and tailored to the student’s needs. Positive feedback keeps students motivated and focused. I advise Wyzant students that perseverance is crucial. I have seen my students improve their grades when receiving tutoring consistently in conjunction with persistent studying.

Cancellation policies: 24-hour notice is required for cancellations. All no-shows and lessons canceled without 24-hour notice incur a cancellation fee equal to the cost of one hour. I may assess a cancellation fee if I must cancel a lesson because a student made requests that violate Wyzant's TOS (Terms of Service).

I hope to see you in class!

Great chemistry tutor

Johnathan helped me with some study guide questions for my college intro chemistry course. He is kind and knowledgeable. I was surprised at how many questions we were able to cover in an hour. He also responded to my initial message within an extremely timely manner.

Knowledgable and patient tutor

Jonathon helped my son review some past algebra concepts and helped him with his current geometry. I was told he was patient and very good at explaining, which gives my son more confidence. I am certain my son will be asking for his help again.

GRE Verbal

Johnathan was an amazing and thorough tutor. I look forward to working with him again in any other areas I have difficulty with taking the GRE. I left the tutoring session confident. He left me with many materials and resources to utilize on my own time. He breaks down and analyzes the question for you and helps understand why you see it the way you do and tries to steer you in the right direction. Although I gave him practice problems that I needed help on my own, he pulled up different kinds of sources of his own practice problem for us to work together on. He also scored in the 94th percentile and he gave me tips on how he was able to obtain it. Thank you again.
